Winning

January 20th 2025 was one of the best days for Republicans, and the country, in a long time.

We have a president that can converse freely and unscripted with the press while demonstrating his […]

Trump Flashback

I wrote this in December of 2015, nearly a year before Trump was elected the first time. How did it age? He is bold, brash, bombastic and has an ego that will barely fit in the marble plated atrium of a New York City skyscraper. He is a self-made billionaire who flies his private 757 […]
